Amazing 3D-Printed Objects Which Will Change Our Lives

3D printing isn’t just for the hipsters who want to create Yoda heads and desk skulls, oh no. The revolutionary printing technique is taking manufacturing to a new level with these awe-inspiring, useful designs.

Ok, so number nine is a little creepy, and we’re not really sure how useful it is, but the rest: WOW.

Pizza!

Nasa have funded a project to help develop a 3D food printing machine to feed hungry astronauts in space.

The creator, Anjan Contractor, wants to use it to:

Solve the worldwide food shortage crisis

Reduce wastage

3D Pens

3D pens happen to be another great 3D printing device that can make life a lot easier for many people. You can use this pen just the way you would normally use a pencil or a pen. This pen doesn’t contain led or ink but it has plastic. These pens work using plastic and there are plastic filaments available in various colors for you to experiment with.

This pen works just like a normal pen, but instead of being able to write only on paper, you can now go all over it. This means you can create and draw 3D images using this pen.

3D pens have gained a lot of popularity especially in the field of education. Students are now able to express themselves with the help of the 3D pen and bring their ideas to life. The 3D pen can also be used to prepare images and graphs in the classroom.

It is said that there is nothing better than visualizing your subject and the 3D pen allows you to do just that. The 3D pen also reduces the burden of teachers. Teachers can now ask students to create their projects on their desks and the teacher can check the same in the class itself. There is no need to take any test papers or projects home anymore.

3D foetus

Why have an ultrasound scan picture on your desk, when you can have this foetus figure instead?

Although a little dark, there is a market for 3D printed foetuses. Your baby’s face can be printed onto a pre-made body and with a choice of skin colour; you can create your own mini-me without any waters needing to break. Beautiful.
